Reading Slump

Is there such a thing as Reader's Block? Because at the moment, I cannot for the life of me, get into or care about what I'm reading. This is particularly worrisome for me, because I love to read.

Or could it be the book I'm reading? I haven't hit a wall with any book I've read the last couple of months, until I started on Chicagoland-4 Hard Bitten. It can't be the book, it has to be me right?

I'm currently half-way through, and I still can't seem to care much about this book's plot or its characters. It's been awhile since I've read the last book, so references to the previous book have been rather lost on me. You know you're in trouble, when you start skimming a book. I'm so bummed, because I've been waiting to read this for awhile now. Maybe I should just put it down, then revisit it when I'm in a better state of mind. I donno.

An extremely well played out who-done-it overall. I give the romance in these books a solid B+ and the mystery an A-, even though I guessed who the killer was about halfway through the first book. Even with the early prediction, the en...

This whole series has been a surprise. I've enjoyed each book, and I can say safely say that these books are truly addictive. I enjoyed this book, but I don't think I liked it as much as the first. However, with entirely no wasted spac...

4 1/2 stars
This book is quite a departure from my usual reads. Thanks Heather for suggesting it. I couldn't quite tear myself away from it until I reached the very end. This had one of the best mix of mystery, thrilling-tense drama,...

An impressionable young lady with little to no self-worth, and a sadistic and selfish man, who is 10yrs her senior, is the perfect setup for a bit of heartbreak.
